covered all the land,
stretching away over hill
and dale as far as the eye
could reach. No habitation
of civilized man had ever
been erected in these vast
northern woods; through
their branches the smoke
from settler’s cabin had
never curled; in their depths
the blows of settler’s axe
had never resounded. Here
roamed the moose, and
prowled the bear, and here
the silence of midnight was
broken by the hooting of
the arctic owl.”

Thus the Swedes have truly added to their new home. Not
only their ethic of hard work and endurance, but they also have
lived up to the final phrases of the American national anthem,
“land of the free and home of the brave.”
